By appeal and cross-appeal the parties contend that the trial court erred in the entry of an order awarding fees to a Receiver and her attorney and in taxing these fees as costs, one-half to each party. Neither side, on this record, has made error appear. After a final judgment rendering an accounting and awarding certain costs had been entered, and a motion for fees for a Receiver and her attorney, had been filed, the parties entered into a stipulation altering the terms of the final judgment on the merits and as to the costs awarded therein but without reference to the then pending motion for fees for the Receiver and her attorney.
